Verdict

ONEEIGHTOFAMILE landed a Dundalk bumper in February before well beaten in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown. He made a successful debut under flat racing rules at Clonmel where he gained an impressive victory over Montero. Sutherland Star has been successful in two bumpers and in a maiden on fast ground at Tramore. He'll be better for a fair return effort behind Natural High at Killarney and looks certain to get involved. Cloone Rocket has an excellent career strike-rate of 5-17 but hasn't been seen since August 2008 which tempers enthusiasm while Keep It Cool's best recent form has been on polytrack.
